To be successfully compiled in Scala IDE, the Play plugin requires the following components in the target environment:

Platform
JDT
Scala IDE
Eclipse Web Developer Tools

A complete development environment can be created by:

starting for Eclipse Classic, and adding the feature 'Eclipse Web Developer Tools' (from http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/<eclipse_version_name>).
starting from Eclipse for J2EE Developers, and adding the feature 'PDE' (from the main update site of Eclipse, already configured as Indigo, Juno, Kepler ...).

In addition, installing the source features is often useful. Their names are:

'Eclipse Platform Plug-in Developer Resources' for the Platform sources.
'Eclipse JDT Plug-in Developer Resources' for the JDT sources.
'WST Web Plug-in Developer Resources' for the Web Developer Tools sources.

To find the source features, the option Group items by category should be disabled in the Install new software dialog.
